The best of the best!

I am a property manager for condominiums in S. Florida and have had the good fortune to work with Donna on several different properties. The issues these properties had ran the gamet from the standard to very complex, and I always knew I was in good hands with Donna. In addition to her incrediable k...nowledge, she has the highest level of honesty and integrity; she genuinely cares about her clients and you can be confident she will do all in her power to get the desired results accurately (and expeditiously). Not to mention how wonderful she is to the managers themselves. She makes herself available to us, all the while educating us, either in person or through one of her many programs, websites and blogs. I would recommend Donna to anyone and congratulate anyone that hires her.

A Leader advanacing Community Association Goverance

I have professionally worked with Donna for the last 5 years. During this time she has repeatedly demonstrated her commitment to advancing the quality of life for millions of individuals who live in condominium, homeowner and co-operative associations. She has a unique instict to utilize her leadersh...ip and legal skills to understand the political realities of a given problem or sieze the opportunity required to improve the "living environment" for millions who live in community environments. Donna Berger is a very professional and effective attorney who will represent her client's needs effectively and professionally. From my past 40 years experience with Wall St. law firms to main street attorneys, Donna is one of the best!

"Since joining Rutledge Ecenia, P.A., in January 2011, I have represented Community Advocacy Network (CAN) before the Florida Legislature. I have truly enjoyed working with Donna Berger. Her knowledge of Florida law pertaining to condominiums and homeowners associations never ceases to impress. She represents her clients with passion and has the knowledge to back it up. CAN is the leading community association grassroots organization in Florida, and Donna Berger is a true leader in this area of the law. I would recommend Katzman Garfinkel & Berger to anyone seeking counsel related to community associations."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
